To @ZZ 'whom may camere:

My invention relai l to e woven wire leb rio, Wliiolr.. is oortioulo. adepte/d for lloor muts, although it muy be advent? used in the manufacture of Wi e mi H orbeds, .oreeet backs, lluumxoelrs, as. letliiug, or for any purpose ri/'bere e, light, strong, and durable wire febria'y is eolien., l

The obgleets of my invention are: r construct t wire fabric of @my length and Wdtl1,`by 'weet' g or forming Seid liuluio from Single Wire by suitable umol`l ,I second, to so form the loooe in the wir .dei the hrieled fabric will lie pereetlj,T let out budding or curling ul n direetior; third, 'to form a simple ede or liuiolr on tbe eide@ of the ebric.

To tbe above "purposes, my iirveutiou eorlelste'o tbe 'feetures of' noefelty Figure l is pieu View of ole a loor met formed. ore my improv 2 is elevation or edge'viei. seen in Fig. l Fig. is e f" e persi,u J illustrating the legs wliioll are tive View a etrand of' Wire, shape of tbel loops and tbe formed between seid loops.

M f improved fabric is constructed of e, sing e strand of' Wire, by means of automete maohiner and said strand er' wire is carried alternate y across the machine, and Aby the needles, or loop forming members thereof, fis formed into e series of angular l'lorizontelly disposed loops, each eomprisirig' a short transversely disposed portion 1, and the longitudinally disposed portions 2, which loops are arranged et equal distances apart; and connecting the adjacent pairs .of tbe portions 2 are tbe curved le s 3, which are 'bent downwardly und laterally so that the eze' treme lower ends of seid. legs oeoupgf posi-- tiene approximately one-belli wey between the ends of the llorizorrtelly' dilapoeed loops.

The 3 are bent abruptly domi end ioiwerd from tbe ends of the portions-2, ue oesige by Il, in order to fitsuugly around. tbe .nds ol the portions l, and all el" the lege 3 t 'u' curved laterally in order to form elo1 15; orre 'u ntsupportfortbeboi portion of le but formedbytllebo-. lly A. l .seed lof. end also to emite the met ,o lie ,lorie-edu t when. upon the floor, or eitioned. eguil l my liet surface.
